In 2019, the most recent data available, the depression rate in Cincinnati was 1.4% higher than the national average. That may not seem like a large percentage, but it represents thousands of individuals suffering from mental health issues. Furthermore, an astounding 2.4 million Ohio residents live in communities with low rates of mental health professionals. With nearly half of Americans who seek help not receiving it, usually due to cost, we’re here to help.
